CESMII Strategic Project Development through Affinity Groups

CESMII Strategic Planning Process

Provides integrated strategy to optimize manufacturing and increase energy productivity
- Business Practices
- Workforce Development
- SM Technology and the SM Platform™
Currently written at a generalized level with no granularity for manufacturing sectors but it is within these sectors that SM must be implemented

Represent the manufacturing sectors of the region to CESMII
- Inclusion in CESMII Technology Roadmap
- Regional prioritization of sector needs
Develop and propose test beds in response to the CESMII Technology Roadmap and call for proposals
Manage the test bed projects once awarded
Ensure regional membership is engaged and presented with an opportunity to participate in the Institute and to execute their committed cost share

WHAT: A group of CESMII members having an interest in a particular manufacturing sector, a manufacturing problem within a sector, or a technology.
SCOPE: A They may be regional, multi-regional or national
OBJECTIVE: Examine the chosen sector or problem strategically
HOW: Members bring their unique abilities, interests and expertise to engage the SM Platform™ as needed
RESULTS: A plan to use SM Technologies to meet sector objectives documented in a concept paper proposed to CESMII

Provides clear view into how the SM Portfolio (is or should be) structured on a sector-by-sector basis vs. a project-by-project basis
Allows CESMII to better align efforts to the Technology Roadmap and to track how the portfolio is evolving to meet member needs
Encourages multi-regional participation to optimize development efforts – provides forum for collaboration of skills and expertise in a sector from the CESMII member network
Maximizes opportunity for member participation and execution of committed cost share – members technical participation not restricted to their region
Decreases management and contracting complexity at the RMC level
